Sunday Sermon
Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord
God had made. He said to the woman, Did God say, You shall not eat from
any tree in the garden? The woman said to the serpent, We may eat of
the fruit of the trees in the garden; but God said, You shall not eat of the
fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, nor shall you touch it,
or you shall die. But the serpent said to the woman, You will not die; for
God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be
like God, knowing good and evil. So when the woman saw that the tree was
good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to
be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave
some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both
were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves
together and made loincloths for themselves.
They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time
of the evening breeze, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the
presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God
called to the man, and said to him, Where are you? He said, I heard the
sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid
myself. He said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from
the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?
